'''Cesar Chavez''' (1927-1993) was a [[Roman Catholic]] [[labor]] organizer who started one of the first farm workers unions and organized [[boycott]]s of farmers who opposed [[union]]ization. His work is said to have led to many improvements in the working conditions experienced by farmhands. His importance in American history is seen in the fact that his birthday is a holiday in four states and that the [[United States Postal Service]] has released a stamp in his honor.
